Ingredients

• 8 oz spaghetti
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup marinara sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh basil, for garnish

How to Make Spaghetti with Chicken Parmesan

1. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water. Drain and set aside.
2. While the pasta cooks, prepare the chicken. Place the flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls. Season the flour with salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
3. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking. Dip each chicken breast first in the flour, shaking off excess, then into the eggs, and finally coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
4. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
5. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the marinara sauce. Let it warm through while stirring occasionally.
6. Preheat your oven broiler. Place the cooked chicken breasts on a baking sheet, top each with marinara sauce, and sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top.
7. Broil in the oven for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. To serve, place a portion of spaghetti on each plate, top with the crispy chicken Parmesan, and garnish with fresh basil.

Tips for the Best Results

Make sure to pound the chicken evenly for uniform cooking. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to perfection. For an extra crispy coating, let the breaded chicken rest for a few minutes before frying.

Easy Variations

• Swap out spaghetti for zoodles or whole wheat pasta for a healthier twist.
• Add sautéed spinach or mushrooms to the marinara for added flavor and nutrients.
• Use different types of cheese like provolone or cheddar for a unique taste.
• Try adding red pepper flakes to the marinara for a spicy kick.

What to Serve With It

• Garlic bread for a crunchy side.
• Simple side salad with a vinaigrette dressing.
• Roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.
• Steamed broccoli or green beans for added color and nutrition.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in the microwave or oven until heated through. If using the oven, cover with foil to prevent drying out.
